Pousada Caraiva Guest House — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Eunápolis - Porto Seguro

I don't know where to start. Maybe with the beautiful room (superior) which was big, clean, aircondotioned and most of all had a beautiful and huge veranda with an own hammock. It feels like your own little house in paradise. The garden of the pousada is a little paradise: in the dark you can lay on the hammock and watch the stars shining above you. The guesthouse is maybe 50 steps away from the beach and 200 from the vila. Walking through caraivan sand (there are no streets) isn't the biggest pleasure on earth but it's a funny experience for once. The rich breakfast which was served freshly each morning was delicious! It was more than I could eat but everything served, from fresh local fruits to homemade bakery, was delicious. Octavio and his staff, especially Paula and the girl from breakfast, made me feel so welcome. Especially travelling alone as a woman they quickly took away the feeling of being just another tourist, they made me feel at home and were very helpful. Octavio even organized my transfer back to Porto Seguro at the end of my stay. ||As for tours I can highly recommend the buggy tour to Corumbau. The buggy ride is an adventour, but being in Corumbau is just a dream. One more paradise! I also did the boat trip to Praia do Espelho which was just as nice. If you have the chance, you should do both.||Thanks, Octavio and Paula. I hope to come back...

Many of the previous reviews explain exactly how fantastic this inn/guesthouse is and what to expect from the village. I will try not to repeat the information.||||The Pousada:||The location is great, the accommodation is really clean and comfortable, the breakfast is amazing, and the internet worked really well. Here you will meet warm and caring people, who will make you feel welcome, and who really care for your well being. I warmly recommend the Caraiva Guesthouse and there is a great chance I will stay here again. Caraiva and everyone from the pousada are now in my heart! ||||Some tips for surviving in the village: ||Bring enough cash, as it may be difficult to pay by card.||Bring flip flops or sandals for outdoor use and another pair for indoor. You won't regret it.||Do not walk barefoot on the streets to avoid catching hookworm (better be on the save side!)||Buy some long-lasting mosquito repellent. I have heard that spray is better. There are mangroves nearby and the mosquitoes are ferocious. ||And enjoy! Relax, try some great local dishes. Do not leave without trying the mashed banana, açaí, moqueca, and a Netuno...

This place has the best balance of space, tranquility, friendliness and quality. We have been travelling in Brazil for 4 weeks and this is the best place we've stayed in so far. ||The breakfast is very special - you are served fruit, eggs, bread & ham/cheese, and coffee at your own private terrace in the beautiful garden surroundings! |The rooms are spacious, have cool bathrooms (with plants from outside) and nice air con. They even sprayed the room rid of mozzies before we arrived, and the beds are very comfy!||Octavio, the owner is amazing! He gave us detailed instructions on how to arrive from Porto Seguro, speaks perfect English (a rarity in Brazil) and even met us at the boat transfer to chaperone is to the guest house. He made us feel so welcome throughout our whole stay with suggestions for places to eat and what to do.||We truly feel that this is the best place in caraiva! thank you Octavio and staff for such a...
